Does anyone know if they are planning to release a directors cut for Titanic and if so when? -Rachel

There has been some talk on various Titanic websites that a director's cut is in the works, but it **may** only be released on laser videodisk or DVD :-(

See the thread "on video/dvd" elsewhere on this board.

Cheers!

I hope they release a director's cut!!! According to all I've heard (and read in the script) there are many scenes left out of the movie because of time. Supposedly the movie was over 4 hours long before it was edited. I sincerly hope that a director's cut comes out on video, because I will definately have to get it!!!!!!!!

Based on past films, the director's cut probably won't come out until July--or even as late as November. Incidentally, Friday, February 13, Fox will televise a special on the making of the movie. There will be scenes and bits cut from the released version. It's on 9:00 pm ET.

Titanic may just be the "killer app" that DVD needs to get off the ground. If they release the director's cut, there's no telling how many it would sell. =)

Cameron announced it last night (per Variety) after the Oscar telecast: there ***will*** be a Director's Cut. He said it will contain 15-20 minutes of additional footage, and (unhappily for me) be released on laser disc and/or DVD. No details on the footage to be added, release date, or price.

Cheers!
